Everything you need to know about Iris Yacht
Marriott Busan Ocean Park is a top recommendation, located between Ganwol Cultural Village and Haeundae Beach, just a short walk from the Alice Yacht Dock. The hotel offers spacious rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows providing panoramic views of the South Sea coastline and passing yachts. Complimentary shuttle services connect guests to major attractions, while on-site amenities include indoor and outdoor pools and a seaside café perfect for sunset views.
Guests also receive exclusive discounts on yacht tours, allowing them to explore Busan Port and the iconic King Taejong Monument from the water. Opt for east-southeast-facing rooms to capture the golden sunrise over the waves and the dynamic scene of yachts setting sail—ideal for creating unforgettable coastal memories.
From the Alice Yacht Experience dock, take the Busan Urban Railway (BEXCO Line) to Haeundae Station, then transfer to Subway Line 2 heading to Busan Station or Nampo-dong Station, taking about 25 minutes. Alternatively, board Bus 701, which passes through Busan Plaza and Geumjeong Market, and alight at Aeola Tower Stop, a 10-minute walk from the dock.
For convenience, consider HopeGoo a private car transfer service—many nearby hotels offer free shuttles, eliminating transfers and ideal for travelers with luggage or families. Additionally, electric bike rental stations are available near the dock, perfect for short explorations of nearby spots like Ganwol Cultural Village and Busan Seaside Trail.
Use apps like Naver Map or T Map for real-time schedules and avoid peak-hour congestion to ensure smooth travel.
Beyond standard yacht cruises, Alice Yacht Experience offers several unique water activities: snorkeling excursions in shallow coral zones, nighttime illuminated cruises with live music and stargazing, and family-friendly fishing experiences. Each yacht comes equipped with professional guides offering bilingual (English/Korean) commentary, along with life jackets, waterproof camera rentals, and light refreshments.
The sunset cruise package is highly recommended, offering breathtaking views of the Busan Harbor Lighthouse and King Taejong Monument glowing against the evening sky—perfect for photography enthusiasts. Activities run daily from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM, with reservations advised 24 hours in advance, especially on weekends and holidays.
All experiences meet international safety standards and include emergency response equipment. Some packages also include commemorative badges and limited-edition posters as keepsakes.
The prime photo location is the glass viewing platform directly in front of the Alice Yacht Dock, designed with modern architecture that blends seamlessly with the South Sea panorama. It offers a 360-degree view of anchored yachts and coastal scenery. Visit during golden hour (5:30–6:30 PM) for soft sunlight reflecting off the water, creating stunning silhouettes of yachts against a shimmering backdrop.
Nearby, a miniature replica of the King Taejong Statue provides a striking contrast between human figures and maritime elements. At night, the neon art installation atop the dock becomes a luminous focal point, ideal for dreamy long-exposure shots.
The adjacent seaside garden path, lined with hydrangeas and cherry blossoms, transforms into a popular photogenic spot during spring blooms. Bring a tripod and telephoto lens to capture depth and detail of distant yachts and sky layers for impactful, high-quality images.

My stay at Busan Guest House Urban was absolutely wonderful! The host greeted me with genuine warmth, making me feel right at home. The room was cozy and quiet—perfect for a good night's sleep. I especially loved the shared lounge area with a fully equipped kitchen, which made preparing meals super convenient. The location is excellent for exploring nearby attractions like Haeundae Beach and Bukchon Village, and public transportation is just steps away. I’d happily return and highly recommend this gem to anyone visiting Busan.
I chose this hotel mainly for the view, but unfortunately I ended up with a room that didn’t have a beach view. The room had a huge window, but it faced a wall instead of the ocean—very disappointing. I reached out to the front desk, and they explained they were fully booked and couldn’t upgrade or switch rooms. Still, the Korean staff member at the front desk was incredibly friendly and made an effort to communicate in English despite the language barrier. I arrived at 11 a.m., but check-in wasn’t available until 3 p.m., so I had to wait. While that’s a bit inconvenient, their polite attitude made the wait more bearable. Location-wise, the hotel is very convenient—just a short walk from Gwangalli Beach, even though it’s not directly on the waterfront. The nearby subway station makes getting around easy, and there are plenty of restaurants, cafes, and things to do in the area. I also appreciated the rooftop terrace on the 10th floor, which offers a much better view and great photo opportunities. The room itself is spacious and spotlessly clean. The only downside is that sunlight doesn’t reach the room due to the wall blocking the large window. Still, considering the location, service, and overall value, I’d definitely recommend this place for travelers who prioritize convenience and comfort over a sea view.
I stayed at Canvas Hostel Black in Busan and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The place was spotless, quiet, and incredibly comfortable—perfect for unwinding after a long day exploring the city. Check-in was smooth and quick, and the staff went above and beyond with their warm hospitality. My room was cozy with a soft bed, ambient lighting, and all the essentials working perfectly—TV, AC, shower, you name it. I slept like a baby, though not entirely uninterrupted. Around midnight, I heard a faint tapping from behind the wall, almost like someone gently knocking. At first, I thought it was the pipes, but then I caught a whisper—just a soft, barely audible 'hello.' It wasn’t creepy at all; more like a quiet greeting from an old friend. I even said goodnight back, and I swear I felt a whisper in reply. There’s something magical about staying somewhere that feels lived-in, layered with stories. If you’re looking for a peaceful, well-located stay with a touch of mystery and soul, this place is absolutely perfect. Great value, great vibe, and a ghost who seems to really enjoy the quiet life.
I absolutely loved my stay at Canvas Hostel! The first room had a minor issue, but the staff reacted quickly and arranged a room change right away. The new room was small but perfect for solo travelers—just enough space, and the best part? It had an amazing view of the sea.

The location is fantastic, and the value for money is unbeatable. Definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Busan!

The room was spotless, spacious, and beautifully designed—comfortable bed, great lighting, and modern amenities. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful, offering local tips and even a small welcome gift. The price was fantastic for the quality and location—definitely one of the best value stays I’ve had in South Korea. I’d absolutely return and highly recommend this gem to anyone visiting Busan.
Staying at Hotel Intro in Busan was an absolutely delightful experience. The front desk staff were incredibly friendly and helpful—when we asked for fried chicken, they patiently explained the different options and recommended portion sizes based on our preferences. They even assisted us with arranging a taxi to another area, which was super convenient. The room itself was spacious and immaculately clean, with a bathroom that felt like a luxury retreat—complete with both a bathtub and a separate shower area. The only minor downside was the lack of a door at the outer edge of the bathroom; there was only a partition between the wet zone and the toilet area, and the toilet area had a slight odor in the morning. However, this didn’t detract much from the overall excellent stay. There’s a convenience store nearby for essentials, and while it’s a bit of a walk from Haeundae’s bustling area, public transport makes getting there easy. For comfort, service, and value, this hotel is definitely worth considering.

I was particularly impressed with the quiet environment; no noise from outside or neighboring rooms, which made for a peaceful stay. The staff were friendly and efficient, making check-in smooth and offering helpful tips when needed.

It’s perfect for travelers who want quality, convenience, and a relaxing atmosphere. Definitely planning to return on my next trip to Busan.
